Damn, I'v been away from this site for awhile now, the last blog I wrote was...damn...two months ago! I felt like writing a blog, but I can't think of anyhting to write about so I'm just gonna review the last few movies I've seen.

And I'll start with the biggie, The Simpsons Movie, damn seeing this movie was just so surreal. Just sitting in the theater seeing these characters on the big screen was just something I felt I'd never see. The movie actually had a similar feeling to Star Wars episode III for me in that way, finally seeing it, just seeing it in the theater was just unreal. Like I couldn't believe I was actually there. I hope that makes sense. As far as what I actually thought of the movie. Well the answer to that is that I simply loved it. It was just hillarious, I honestly don't remember the last time I laughed this much at a movie. And like some of the best episodes of the show, it had an unmistakable emotional core, I just LOVED the movie. Of course it wasn't quite up there with the best of the best eps of the show, but it was still fantastic. I would really love to see another big screen Simpsons adventure in the future, like Maggie's, well, second word if you remember her first word in season 4's "Lisa's First Word", suggested.

Another recent blockbuster I saw was Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix. And to be honest, I thought it was just ok. I don't know, something was missing, I can't explain what, but just something, like the magic that had made the first four films great had somehow run dry. Or maybe it was just the book it was adapted from, I don't know, I just know I left the theater a bit dissapointed. I mean, yet again, the movie ended with an anticlimatic battle with Voldemort. The movie left me with a big meh, I hope the Half Blood Prince is more satisfying.

Another movie I saw was Captivity. I enjoyed it overall, it sort of felt like today's version of the endless slasher flicks from the 80's. Sort of a result of the whole torture genre of horror films made popular with movies like Saw and Hostel, it was still decent, despite the fact that there was no originality to it at all. Oh and there's a horrible scene where the girl being held captive is forced to shoot her own dog tosurvive, I hate stuff like that, and I couldn't stop thinking about it for the rest of the flick, poor dog.

Another recent horror flick I've seen was I Know Who Killed Me, a decent movie that could have been so much better with a better cast and director. Don't really have anything else to say about it.

I've seen some older movies recently as well, like the notorious Cannibal Holocaust, definetely lives up to its reputation.I of course watched the "animal cruelty free" version as I don't see real death as entertainment and think anyone who does has to be a sick freak. The movie was definetely interesting, I was surprised by the fact that they actually made the Americans look more evil than the natives who only killed these people after they burned them alive and raped them, basically treated them like trash to try to make a good documentary. Overall I liked it

A movie I really enjoyed was Return Of The Living Dead, a highly entertaining and over the top zombie flick. I loved the fact that the zombies could only be killed by burning them to ashes, because despite the fact that this movie was overall light hearted, the thought of the zombies was freaky as hell and I'd love to see these type of creatures in a more serious, cause they are truly threatening.

A movie I just watched last night was Creepshow, a fun flick. It had an interesting stylistic approach, obviously to look like the comics, that I enjoyed. Overall a great litle horror movie that tells five great stories.

And finally amovie I didn't enjoy. That movie was Phantasm. Ugh, why people enjoy this movie is beyond me. I blindly bought this movie based on its reputation and the fact that its not available on Netflix for some reason. And boy do I regret it. This movie was boring and dull with acting and dialogue cheesier thanyou can imagine. And I usually actually like cheesy horror flicks. The fact that I loved Dead Alive is a testament to that. I just didn't enjoy this movie at all, I should of listened to my dad who said I shouldn't get the flick because "it sucks". The reason people regard this movie as a c l a s s i c must be nostalgia at work and nothing more, because it really did suck. Oddly enough though I still kinda wanna see the sequel...
